Scotia Commencement.

Last wednesday was commence
ment day at Scotia Seminary. TIL,
day was cool and pleasant, and BY
$3.50 o'clock Memorial Church was
filled from "pit to DOME" with a
select, intelligent audience. Each
performed her part SO we'll il would
be unjust to single out one and not
all. The composition of the essays
was in keeping with the fame of the
institution, and would do credit to
any educated women in the country.
The young ladies read with clear,
distinct voices, and showed no embar-
rassment. Their pronunciation, ar
ticulation, emphasis, gestures, &C.,
were all good and showed careful and
good training. The music was very
fine indeed. Mr.. Blount accompanied
the choir with his claronet. Miss
Virginia Shoals was presented a gold
pen for having made the most advance
ment in penmanship. A number of
ladies were presented Bible for COM
hitting the shorter catechism. There
were four graduates in the higher
course and fourteen in the teachers
course. The exercises were over by
IL O'Clock. The young ladies and
gentlemen spent the afternoon socially.
ALUMNI EXERCISES.
At s o'clock Scotia alumni marched
in the Seminary chapel, each young
lady escorted by a young gentleman.
There were forty-two couples and each
as happy, seemingly, as if marching
to hymen's altar. The programme of
exercises was short, and consisted in
instrumental and vocal music. Rev.
D. J. Sanders prayed for us. The
first piece of music was on tie piano.
organ, and claronet. Miss Mary
Foster read a most excellent paper,
giving a history of Scotia and the
alumni. We were entertained by a
recitation by Miss Oleona Pegram.
Miss Jessie Houston sang a solo.
Misses Bonner, Foster and Castor and
Mr.. Blunt furnished instrumental
music, while the sweet soprano, by Miss
Reese, the charming alto by Miss
Beebe, and the rousing base by Miss
jenkins, were distinguished in the
choruses. After the exercises were
over we all marched to the spacious
dining hall and partook ofan excellent
supper prepared by the young ladies
for their friends, especially preachers
and editors. The young folks all had
a pleasant time. Time forbids a fur

the graduates next week, with order

Look out Bro. Hill.
An excursion from Darlington, S.
c., and other points, came in the city
last Thursday morning and seemed to
enjoy the day. The Virginia House
was crowded. There were about $50
of them in all.
J. G. Davidson & Son. have NOV

The county teachers institute will
convene at Biddle University next
Tuesday. All colored persons expect

Misses Rose and Della Rich ardson.
of Wadesboro, Lula Black, of Green's
boro. Alice Wellmon, of Shelby,
Maria Castor, of Georgia, Jessie
Houston, of Monroe, Annie Jones, of
Concord, were among the guest of the
Virginia House this week.
1t was pleasing to see the interest
and pleasure manifested by students
and patrons of other institutions at
Scotia commencement. More than a
dozen of the young men of Living
stone College were there, and a score
from Biddle. Bennett and others
were represented. All were made
welcome and happy.
Would it not be we'll for county
superintendent to enquire into the
habits OF young men before giving
them certificates to teach our youth?
Young men that smoke cigars on the
streets and frequent barrooms are bad

morals Of the tender child.

Templers have united When and

grand lodge may be organized in a

to visit white lodges and it is hoped
much good will be done among our
people in the South.
Some of our young men in the east
wear bangs that are envied by the
girls. They have their hair cut short
and leave foretop to ornament the
forehead. 1t reminds one much of
Balaam's animal when he stopped and
refused to go. It makes one think
there's an empty story and he wants
to fill in with hair.
